Probably. It's not hard at all for patents to go through.

What
is hard is for said patents to be court proof. This will allow Nintendo to bully. But if anyone stands up to Nintendo in court, it is likely that Nintendo will lose any patent they use, that they'll lose the any case they use said patents altogether, and at the end of the case Nintendo will likely be paying all legal fees. (Legislation to reduce legal bullying by suit, by threatening the suing litigant with having to pay
everything is popular for some reason.)
The only reason why shit like the Nemesis system is seen as a decent patent is because it genuinely was something that was pretty unique and specific when Warner Bros patented it. (I think it expires soon too, by the way.) Catching and summoning characters? Too broad and vague, too much shit that came out before it. If Nintendo wanted exclusivity, they should've pursued this thirty years ago.
